Let the emails flow...

We are puzzled as to why Mr. Coleman refuses to remove a
statement not approved by his body, but is not willing to post the statement
that his body did vote on and approve. As we stated in a previous article, we
have the emails and will post them here in this blog.

This will be a little long, but requires great details so
that everyone can grasp what is being said and done.

After the last election cycle, the Liberty County Republican
Party started having monthly meetings in addition to the quarterly meetings. At
one of these meetings, with quorum, Precinct Chairman Ray Ansley proposed a resolution for the Liberty County
GOP to state it did not support the use of women's restrooms by men. You may
remember this was an issue championed by Jared Woodfill in Houston and won.
However, in Dallas, it was passed. Originally, Mr. Ansley was backing that the
state convention be moved to Houston because of this. However, before he rose
to propose his resolution, he decided to remove that section and simply ask the
body to state that the party did not support this activity. The resolution
passed by a large majority. However, among the very few no votes were Mr.
Coleman and Terri Bivins. Part of the language of the resolution was that the
party post it on the webpage and send it out in a release. Also, at this
meeting, there was a vote to fund a party event in Cleveland as well. That is
important to remember.

After this meeting, Terri Bivins, Paul Newton and Ken Coleman were seething with anger
that this resolution passed. Why Ms. Bivins has suddenly become a champion for
the trans-gendered is beyond us? Maybe that explains her love of Democrats the
run as Republicans. It's at this point where things begin to go under-handed as
they always do in Liberty County. Here, this story diverges into two different
stories. The one the public saw, and the one that happened behind closed doors.
We know both.

Now, an angered leadership begins to plan just how they
subvert the will of the body, and not mention this resolution (sound
familiar?). Ken Coleman and Terri Bivins decide the monthly meetings are not
official and therefore anything done there wasn't really binding. So, really
business can only be done at the quarterly meeting and the resolution would
have to be re-voted on then. Notice that 'funding' of an event in Cleveland is
somehow not mentioned and by some weird chance, still binding.

Of course the body is going to push back against this
blatant attempt to undermine a legitimate vote. So, the meetings of leadership
go behind closed doors. Terri and Ken have decided there has to be some way to
declare this meeting invalid. The other Vice Chairman becomes enraged that Ken
and Terri would subvert the will of the body. This gentleman becomes chastised
by leadership that he is somehow not a team player by disagreeing with
leadership he is a part of. The issue heats up enough that leadership decides
to get the general counsel of the Republican Party of Texas (Eric Opiela)
involved. These are the emails we have attached.

The outcome was not in favor of Ken and Terri. As long as
the Precinct Chairs are notified of the meeting and quorum is met, it is a
binding meeting. It doesn't matter if it is called a workshop or anything else,
it is binding. For this meeting, all Precinct Chairmen were notified via email,
and the meeting was also posted on the party webpage as well as Facebook. Proper
notification was met with the emails. However, Ken and Terri now move to
arguing over what is 'proper notification'? Ken, clearly out of touch with
modern society, decides notification is only something posted at the
Courthouse. In fact this is not correct. But that doesn't matter, they have
decided notification was not to their liking. So, they set out to not accept
the resolution that was voted on by publicly elected representatives at a
meeting. The meeting is not official, regardless of what the party general
counsel has told them.

Again, major push back begins to swell up. Fearing losing his
Executive Committee, Ken 'graciously' sends out notification that while he has
decided these monthly meetings are not binding, as a measure of good faith,
they will approve the meeting this time. This is what the public saw. A measure
of good faith? No, like it or not, the meeting was binding and the general counsel
of the party told them that. To come out after as a measure of good faith the
King will allow it now is laughable.

Has anyone noticed nothing has been said about that
'funding' yet? See, the vote on funding was something the Chairman and Terri
agreed on and was never in question. There's
only ever a question when things don't go their way.

Here's where we see yet another example (of MANY) of a rogue
Chairman, with the assistance of his female Vice Chairman Terri Bivins. Notice
how all the elements are connected in this County? Terri Bivins works for Rep.
Otto, and is also the party Vice Chairwoman, and they are all working against
those in the party that are trying to be heard. Paul Newton is appointed as
webmaster (wrote the articles on the webpage) and is a personal friend of both
the Coleman's and Terri. Yet, the Chairman acts surprised when he is defeated
at convention? He blames some fringe group? We think it is clear the Chairman
has worked pretty hard himself alienating his very own Executive Council from
himself. Issues like these are common. The anger has been building for quite
some time. The bubble finally bust for the Chairman at the recent convention
where his very own party members worked to not seat him. If anything, it was a
vote of lack of confidence in him as a fair Chairman.

Liberty Dispatch shares this information so that the public
may connect the dots and understand what has been happening. While the Chairman
will post false narratives on the party webpage, he refuses to actually post legitimately
passed resolutions. Ken Coleman and Terri Bivins have been working hard against
the will of the party. They only have themselves to blame at this point for all
that has occurred. They have ruled as Kings and the elected body has begun to
push back. Now, they cry foul.

Their days are over. The last grasp they are trying for is
using a completely unsuspecting candidate, Ernest Bailes, to regurgitate their
lies in a last hope of retaining some kind of sway under a new elected official
replacing John Otto. They won't get this with Mr. Strahan. They know this. When
underhanded people fight a candidate like Mr. Strahan, there's usually a power
trip at play.

We are looking forward to the new Chairman coming in and
taking over in June. We can only hope he appoints a decent webmaster and cleans
up that site. And, if nothing else, relegate Terri Bivins to just another
Precinct Chair and not a Vice Chairman of the party. Truth be told, THAT is
what the members of the executive committee wish. Will the new Chairman deliver?
We will see.

Here is a bit of the conversation with the RPT General Counsel explaining that email notification is fine and the meeting was in fact a real meeting and binding. Read from the bottom up as it is a thread.

Here is the question of why the resolution has not been posted. As the leadership is behind closed doors doing everything possible to invalidate the vote.

Remember, you need to read from the bottom up, Until you get to the blue, then you can read the next page and continue onto this. We added this beautiful gem by Paul Newton (the blue) for a specific reason. He talks so eloquently here. Respect, civility, watch the rhetoric. What is puzzling here is that Paul Newton in the past month has posted everywhere he can on social media how horrible some Republicans are. He has completely insinuated lies about Mr. Strahan. He also has attacked a sitting State Rep, Johnathon Stickland by re-posting a negative ad that was used during the election challenge he had as to try to damage Mr. Strahan as Mr. Stickland backs him. . By the way, Mr. Stickland won outright his re-election, no runoff. But, we have plenty of screen shots of Mr. Newton's behavior as of late. Those will be coming soon.

As webmaster, Paul Newton has written most of the negative articles the body wants taken down. Also, we highlighted the funny parts as Paul Newton seems to be under the delusion he is a member of the Executive Committee. Mr. Newton simply serves at the pleasure of the Chair for a specific task (at this time). He holds not voting power.

so has anyone corrected Mr Newton & explained to him he is NOT a member of the executive committee? also, as I'm understanding it, he is the person writing these press releases & webpage posts being credited to Mr Coleman...does Mr Coleman conduct any business for himself? press releases are written by the webmaster, e-mails are being sent by his wife & it seems most of the major decisions are made by Mrs Bivens...what exactly is the job of the chairman? & how can Mr Coleman have been surprised that he was not chosen to chair the convention? it appears he doesn't do anything himself...

What a bunch of hog wash... Ho the heck does Terri Bivens think she is? What's wrong with Ken Coleman? Has he lost his mind and its apparent he is nothing more than a puppe for Bivens and this web guyt. Ray Ansley is apparently niave to the snakes he was dealing with in Ken, Terri and this web guy. Ansley seemed to have the right thing at heart all the while being undermined and jeered. Very sad bunch of people. Good riddance...
